The impact of the multi-tenant cloud on smart aircraft manufacturing

The heated issue on global tariffs adds yet another burden to the uncertain outlook faced by today’s defense contractors. Faced with persistent supply chain disruptions, skilled labor shortages, and rising pressure to decarbonize, defense manufacturing is undergoing a profound shift in how aircraft, battle tanks and naval vessels are designed, built, and maintained.

Factories must become smart and connected. Manufacturers need to fundamentally switch from long-term industry thinking in complex development projects with decade-long life cycles. They must modernize their manufacturing facilities, data capturing IT systems, and face increased costs for research and development (R&D) to scale up production. Major aspects include the integration of additive manufacturing, higher automation, digital twin, artificial intelligence (AI) technology, and more connectivity via Internet of Things (IoT).

Advanced digital technologies enhance efficiency, precision, and innovation. Digitalization enables smarter, more flexible, and cost-effective operations with improved performance, reliability, and life cycle of A&D products.

Smart manufacturing has become essential—not just for efficiency, but for agile decision making in uncertain times, for resilience and for competitiveness. This webinar will explore how operational leaders are turning to intelligent, connected systems to modernize production and overcome today’s most pressing challenges.

Tailored for stakeholders in both manufacturing and IT, the session will highlight the pivotal role of multi-tenant cloud platforms in enabling secure, scalable, and collaborative operations. From real-time factory track and predictive maintenance to AI-driven quality control and seamless supplier integration, smart manufacturing is accelerating digital transformation across the aviation value chain.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• How smart manufacturing is helping aerospace companies to scale up in response to labor shortages, supply chain volatility, and sustainability targets
• The role of AI, IoT, and digital twins in optimizing production, quality, and maintenance in aviation
• Why multi-tenant cloud platforms are key to enabling secure collaboration across suppliers, plants, and IT systems
• Real-world case studies from aviation manufacturers implementing smart factory solutions
• Actionable strategies for IT and operations teams to drive smart manufacturing initiatives at scale
